When I clicked on the links in the notification emails they showed as out of stock also. I refreshed and they showed as in stock and was able to order. :D

Neither.

Best description that I found on the internet:
Lee rifle factory crimp die is neither a roll nor taper crimp -- it squeezes the case in mid-neck and applies a different kind of crimp entirely.

Thanks for the info. Don't know that I like a mid-neck crimp though. Does anyone make a taper crimp for the 300 BLK?

It crimps all the way up to the top of the case. I've used them on my 45/70 and now my 300blk and love them.
